Why the Hello Cup is your new bestie

The Hello Cup is a proudly NZ-made and designed period cup. We make our cups using top notch German medical grade thermoplastic elastomer, a type of plastic commonly referred to as TPE.

We chose TPE for Hello Cups because it is fully recyclable at the end of its life, it is comfortable and soft to the touch and it is hypoallergenic – making it perfect for women who have silicone sensitivities.

Hello Cups contain no rubber, latex, PBAs, heavy metals or other nasties. Colours used are certified food grade and comply with EU and FDA standards.

If you look after your Hello Cup it will last you 5 years. Pretty amazing, eh?

We feel strongly that, when it comes to your vjayjay, you only want to put trustworthy stuff up there (sound advice from our grandmothers). Not all cups are equal. The Hello Cup is in a league of its own and is FDA registered.

We get it, you’ve been using tampons for years without problems so why should you change?

Here are some reason why we’re not fans of tampons or sanitary pads:

they don’t hold as much as a Hello Cup

they’re expensive

they’re single use

they’re bad for the environment

most are chemically treated

they need to be changed regularly

tampon strings stink if you wee on them – meaning you really need to change them each time you go to the loo
